I've been having this burning pain in my left armpit for the past two weeks. I got an ultrasound of my breast, and it showed enlarged lymph nodes in both armpits and a cyst in one breast. But the doctor said that couldn't be the cause of the burning. I'm really curious why there's still this burning sensation. I did notice some redness and irritation in the same armpit about three weeks ago after using some perfume, but that seems to have gotten better. There's no burning in my right armpit. Are there any ideas on what could be causing this since I don't see any visible patch?

This could be due to irritation from the previous reaction to perfume or other underlying causes. I recommend taking an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief cream containing lidocaine may provide some relief. If the pain persists, you may need a prescription for a medication like gabapentin to help with nerve pain. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm wondering if it's okay to use Evion 400 capsules together with Parachute Therapy scalp hair oil every day to keep from going bald, especially in the middle of my head. Also, I'm taking Gemcalds daily and AtorlipF for cholesterol. What are your thoughts on preventing hair loss while on these?

Using Evion 400 capsule along with Parachute Therapy scalp hair oil can be beneficial for preventing hair loss. Evion 400 contains Vitamin E which is good for hair health.
